Week in Review: April 17, 2009

[DanMonDab]

Great job not being biased mediamatters. You got this one completely wrong, just like pretty much everything else you do.

[shoedogg2]

I will agree they lean to the right but it seems all the rest of the mainstream media lean left so it's still overall out of balance leaning to the left. I think people like O'reilly really are fair. You would have a hard time calling him a Republican, he is socially conservative but I think has given Obama and others the benefit of the doubt.

[BadGuyCOOP]

i was wondering were MEDIAMATTERS put the MSNBC and CNN clips. Again kudos to MEDIAMATTERS for great editing, if they keep it up, they will be able to "OUT EDIT" Michael Moore.

I'd love to watch Texas actually secede, if only to watch it crash and burn.

[HowdyCallmeDaddy1]

A Republic of Texas would surpase the United States economically within a month. Texans would no longer pay taxes to the IRS so that money would stay in Texas. Texans would no longer have to bailout international banks/ corporations Texans would not have to give their money to pay for failed socialist states like Kalifornia and pay billions in foreign aid to dictatorships and totalitarian regimes on the other side of the world . Texas would thrive with businesses that would floc here in droves.

[VT16]

Not gonna happen. Texas needs Federal money too much to survive without. Please do try, though.

[residentgomez]

so when we get a hurricane or tornadoes what are we gonna do you idiot. you give us texans a bad name. move the hell out you stupid hiibilly.

[shoedogg2]

I love Fox news! They keep it real... Who is going to pay for all this spending? Future generations and if you think the rich will pay because they raise taxes your wrong. They can move money all around the world to their advantage and use company money to buy what they want. Raising taxes will only move more money out of the US. So wake up the tax bill will be yours to pay and your children's.

Get rid of Scarborough and change the show to Morning MILF

[bobnolan1147]

Here's a secret for everyone - the right wing Repugs are soaking their pants because PRESIDENT Obama is black and they can't parade around in their white sheets and hoods. They will resort to anything to demean him. Too bad they couldn't elect another dummy.

[HowdyCallmeDaddy1]

HA The cry of "racism"! is the first sign of an idiot liberal who can not make an actual argument. So they cry... "racism!"

Pathetic

[E3lanaty]

HA The cry of "

[26095]

D - Bags.

[JimRinX]

Did I just hear a British Gent - A BRITISH GENT - say that he was 'proud' to bring us a Report on the Tea Bagging?

does that mean he was 'proud' of the Boston Tea Party?

Ummmmm! I'm telling Queen Elizabeth!

[JimFlynnMusic]

what a sad world we live in. shame on most of the media

[skyreader7]

Fox is a great barometer of truth. What ever they say, I know to believe the opposite.

[Jacfoth]

EXACTLY! (fair and balanced? yeah right)

[Propagandhi900]

FOX is so hypocritical.

[Mams31383]

It's hard to talk when you're teabagging. AWESOME lol

[rscottwhite]

That might be the quote of the year.

[ljaszczak1]

I'm embarrassed to admit that I was raised in this party too, but I saw the light back around 1990, thank God.

[WKaliberr]

Fox are a joke. They promoted, sponsored and covered those parties. No one else covered them cause it was a Fox event sponsored by Fox.

[Cindi3847]

WKaliberr

Wow. Fox must have made a wise decision to sponsor an event that cost them nothing but got their event on every network and newspaper in the country.

I guess we know why WKaliberr isn't making BIG money working for an Ad Agency.

[ThnkfultoHim]

Sounds like the objective was achieved. What a great country we live in, to be able to freely assemble and speak out. Funny how so many on the left are reacting so defensively...give em time, they can't see clearly now, but when they're affected in their wallet they'll start to wonder.

[WKaliberr]

speak out against what? say it

[dluviam]

ThnkfultoHim:

"Fox must have made a wise decision to sponsor an event that cost them nothing"

Oh really?

Fox News featured at least 20 segments on the "tea party" protests scheduled to take place on April 15 and aired at least 73 in-show & commercial promotions for their April 15 coverage of the events.

Every time Fox aired commercial promos for these 'tea parties" for free. That's money that they didn't get from an advertiser.

Fox lost money. A NEWS channel promoting this was unethical.

[whatnowgop]

I believe the final count was 170 commercials promoting it. That is big money. Dick Armey and his lobbyist group of polluters were also behind it. So we had a bunch of rich corporations riling up and duping these people. I have no problem with protest, but I find what FOX did to be pretty unprofessional. They cater to one type of audience only.

[lordcron]

What the idiots on the right need to understand is that we was affected long before Obama took the white house. This recession hits people of color before it hits whites and trust me we felt it after a year of bushes second term. You can debate all you want when the recession first started but your reality is different then mine. This is Bushes mess and I will never let you right wing idiots forget it! The buck stops with your asses. It's your fault and you know it so own it because its yours!

[trollorbetrolled]

Why are the republicans acting so fucking stupid lately? I use to be apart of their party, but the last 12-14 years have been a disgrace for them. I try to keep an open mind, but the more stupid silly shit I see, the more I'm convinced they don't know what is best for America.

[JimRinX]

I was once a "Reagan Democrat" though I didn't yet know it, too. I owe Bill and Hill for opening my eyes; and the Repubs owe Newt and "The Contract with America(s' Wealthiest Scumbags)" for losing me forever! We coulda' had Health Care; and, since I became Disabled in 2001, that means more to me than EVER!

[1oblomovjr]

Remember: The Real Revolution will not be seen on TV !

[StashBurners]

Stupid repubs

[terrence0258]

Did the revolution start yet? Its hilarious how all the right wing nuts think having anti-Obama signs is gonna change something in this country. The last time I checked Obama's job approval was over 60% and his favorability rating was around 70%.

[tetropods]

shhh if they hear you they might explode
